fanmix: black-winged roses

[fiachairecht]

Hey hollowbolding remember years ago when you asked me for a Maven/Astrid mix and it took me years more to make it guess what I remembered today. Crossposted from tumblr bc, let's be real, I am gonna delete that blog way before I ever delete anything here.

Songs for Maven going through the mechanics of rule because it is something unchanging, something that she knows, and the routine is almost enough to drown the constant refrain of the world is changed the world is fallen (but this has not, and I am not, and she will not acknowledge the lie), and for Astrid free-falling from her patron, staring to the sky with eyes blurred with the ashes of all the times the Brotherhood and burned and risen and burned again, knowing that it is time for fire now if she is to have any chance at keeping her family safe because the world is changed the world is fallen (but the fire is taken from her, and her family is not safe).

i. breathing underwater metric
i'm the blade
you're the knife
i'm the weight
you're the kite

ii. night zola jesus
in the end of the night you're in my arms
i'm on my bed
my bed of stones
but in the end of the night we'll rest our bones

iii. little earthquakes tori amos
and i hate and i hate and i hate
and i hate disintegration
watching us wither
black winged roses that safely changed their color.

iv. beware the touch hannah fury
still through the gash you'll reach to pull
the bones of someone beautiful
his veins stretched tight over his skull
the lullaby will become a lull

v. heroines diablo swing orchestra
freedom roar from senseless mind
apocalypse all dressed in white
saw it coming watched them leaving with all I ever was

vi. soothsayer amorphis
i rose and raised
the others with me too
i shared the ancient wisdom
and taught the ways to be

vii. hangman's lullaby silentium
sing, my lady, sing
don't stop humming now
come close your eyes
don't want to see his smile
lit the night with your smile

viii. away imperia
you brought the light into the darkest nights
my everyday sunlight beam
i keep close to my heart
we have to believe in what is left in our souls.

ix. veil of elysium kamelot
in the darkness of the shadow that comes over all
dear friend, will i know you then?
will i know you then at all?
one day i know we will meet again
in the shade of a life to die for

x. the world is ours stream of passion
we knew perfectly well
no one on this earth
can hold on to much love or much gold
without growing cold inside
